Cleaning and sealing with Universeal .

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

we applied with a sponge at around a 3-1 ratio.. it was dirty lol ... left to dwell for around 15 to 20 mins then agitated with a bristle hand scrubber , then wet vac'd up to see result ... then applied another wetting of extreme to make sure we got deep into the pitting.. the second wetting worked a treat for the stubborn bits... wet vac'd up and then a wetting with clean water to neutralise..

pic 4 is a 50/50 clean and dirty shot from first wash ..

To be fair, it sounds like you put a lot more work into it hehe!
 
Wrong advice then , extreme is suitable for dirt etc but you will need a different make up for grout haze.. universeal do make a grout haze clean up liquid.. use the right products for the right job . 🙂

Yep, i know they do, it was on the shelf next to the extreme clean lol! The guy in CTW insisted it was better... Grrrr! I'll know for next time 😉

Then go back in and slap the toe rag :lol:


Me and PHG did a comparison test with Extreme and against LTP grimex... and the result was a draw IMO..


Just to add though for other readers, always check the suitability of a cleaner with the stone choice at hand.. not all cleaners or grout residue removers are suitable for calcium based stones..
 
That doesn't suprise me Dave, as we all LTP formulas are very strong... I would be interested to see how a comparison between the two products for removing topical coatings, sealer, waxes etc?
